This is a Ben Zuckerman suit from 1953 which features a boxy jacket with pearl buttons and a skirt. The photo was taken by Gordon Parks.

This is a Ben Zuckerman coat in a tan wool. The coat has large buttons and two pockets. The wool is almost like a mohair.

This coat was sold at Nicholas Ungar, which was a store in Portland, Oregon. In 1966 it was bought by Nordstroms, which renamed the store into Nordstrom Best.

From Vogue, September 1959- a Ben Zuckerman suit in gold brocade. The ensemble is made up of a skirt and blouse with a jacket that is lined in dark fur.
Brocade is defined as a heavy fabric interwoven with a rich, raised design. Brocade was widely used in the 1950's and 60's for more 'dressy' suits and dresses.

A Ben Zuckerman ad from 1953 featuring a coat and suit.

'Opulence in fashion and fabric. A coat and suit with twirl-as-you-will lei of sable linked with the new Broadcloth look by Anglo.'

The suit and coat co-ordinate wonderfully and both feature tiny waists, while the suit has a tight skirt, the coat has a full skirt.

Both outfits are made from Anglo Fabrics- 'The Background of Fashion'. Anglo Fabrics was located in Webster, Mass which closed its doors in 1998.

From the Reading Eagle, September 1965- A Zuckerman suit in what looks like a boucle wool.

The jacket is really interesting- it has patch pockets right at the hem as well as one at the bust.

The jacket is fastened by a button and a seperate piece of material on top of the opening. The jacket has a nehru collar.

This is a Ben Zuckerman coat dress in black silk faille which features a 'scarf' that can either be worn slung over the shoulder or worn in the front of the dress.

The dress has a great lining in iridescent gold silk.
